1 Petro 1 Библия на английском и суахили (KJV)

¹ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
Petro, mtume wa Yesu Kristo, kwa wateule wa Utawanyiko, wakaao hali ya ugeni katika Ponto, na Galatia, na Kapadokia, na Asia, na Bithinia;

² elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
kama vile Mungu Baba alivyotangulia kuwajua katika kutakaswa na Roho, hata mkapata kutii na kununyiziwa damu ya Yesu Kristo. Neema na amani na ziongezwe kwenu.

⁴ to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
tupate na urithi usioharibika, usio na uchafu, usionyauka, uliotunzwa mbinguni kwa ajili yenu.

⁵ who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Nanyi mnalindwa na nguvu za Mungu kwa njia ya imani hata mpate wokovu ulio tayari kufunuliwa wakati wa mwisho.

⁶ Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
Mnafurahi sana wakati huo, ijapokuwa sasa kwa kitambo kidogo, ikiwa ni lazima, mmehuzunishwa kwa majaribu ya namna mbalimbali;

⁷ that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
ili kwamba kujaribiwa kwa imani yenu, ambayo ina thamani kuu kuliko dhahabu ipoteayo, ijapokuwa hiyo hujaribiwa kwa moto, kuonekane kuwa kwenye sifa na utukufu na heshima, katika kufunuliwa kwake Yesu Kristo.

⁸ whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
Naye mwampenda, ijapokuwa hamkumwona; ambaye ijapokuwa hamwoni sasa, mnamwamini; na kufurahi sana, kwa furaha isiyoneneka, yenye utukufu,

⁹ receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
katika kuupokea mwisho wa imani yenu, yaani, wokovu wa roho zenu.

¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
Wakatafuta ni wakati upi, na wakati wa namna gani ulioonywa na Roho wa Kristo aliyekuwa ndani yao, ambaye alitangulia kuyashuhudia mateso yatakayompata Kristo, na utukufu utakaokuwako baada ya hayo.

¹² Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Wakafunuliwa ya kuwa si kwa ajili yao wenyewe, bali kwa ajili yenu walihudumu katika mambo hayo, ambayo sasa yamehubiriwa kwenu na wale waliowahubiri ninyi Injili kwa Roho Mtakatifu aliyetumwa kutoka mbinguni. Mambo hayo malaika wanatamani kuyachungulia.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Kama watoto wa kutii msijifananishe na tamaa zenu za kwanza za ujinga wenu;

¹⁵ but as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
bali kama yeye aliyewaita alivyo mtakatifu, ninyi nanyi iweni watakatifu katika mwenendo wenu wote;

¹⁶ because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
kwa maana imeandikwa, Mtakuwa watakatifu kwa kuwa mimi ni mtakatifu.

¹⁷ And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Na ikiwa mnamwita Baba, yeye ahukumuye kila mtu pasipo upendeleo, kwa kadiri ya kazi yake, enendeni kwa hofu katika wakati wenu wa kukaa hapa kama wageni.

¹⁸ forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Nanyi mfahamu kwamba mlikombolewa si kwa vitu viharibikavyo, kwa fedha au dhahabu; mpate kutoka katika mwenendo wenu usiofaa mlioupokea kwa baba zenu;

¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
bali kwa damu ya thamani, kama ya mwana-kondoo asiye na ila, asiye na waa, yaani, ya Kristo.

²⁰ who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Naye amejulikana kweli tangu zamani, kabla haijawekwa misingi ya dunia; lakini alifunuliwa mwisho wa zamani kwa ajili yenu;

²¹ who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
ambao kwa yeye mmekuwa wenye kumwamini Mungu, aliyemfufua katika wafu akampa utukufu; hata imani yenu na tumaini lenu liwe kwa Mungu.

²³ being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Kwa kuwa mmezaliwa mara ya pili; si kwa mbegu iharibikayo, bali kwa ile isiyoharibika; kwa neno la Mungu lenye uzima, lidumulo hata milele.

²⁴ For
All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
Maana, Mwili wote ni kama majani, Na fahari yake yote ni kama ua la majani. Majani hukauka na ua lake huanguka;
